The RMR Group Inc. Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results

Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. of $3.22 Per Diluted Share and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. of $0.62 Per Diluted Share

Incentive Business Management Fees Earned For Calendar Year 2018 of $120.1 Million, or $2.82 Per Diluted Share
_____________________________________________________________________________

Newton, MA (February 7, 2019). The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Adam Portnoy, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement regarding the first quarter fiscal 2019 results:

"We are pleased with our first quarter operating results, as adjusted net income of $0.62 per diluted share was up 3% compared to last year. During the quarter, we generated net income of $118.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $29.4 million and an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 58%.

During the quarter, we also successfully helped facilitate the merger of Government Properties Income Trust and Select Income REIT to form Office Properties Income Trust, or OPI. This merger received significant shareholder support and we look forward to advancing OPI's investment strategy of owning buildings primarily leased to single tenants and those with high credit quality characteristics, like government entities.

At the close of the first fiscal quarter, our balance sheet continues to leave us well positioned to assess strategic opportunities for future growth."

First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Highlights:

Total management and advisory services revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were $168.4 million, including $120.1 million of incentive business management fees, compared to $205.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, which included $155.9 million in incentive business management fees.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we earned incentive business management fees of $120.1 million and $155.9 million, respectively. Incentive business management fees included fees earned from HPT, SIR and SNH of $53.6 million, $25.8 million and $40.7 million, respectively, and $74.6 million, $25.6 million and $55.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, net income was $118.1 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. was $52.2 million, or $3.22 per diluted share, compared to net income of $159.3 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. of $71.1 million, or $4.39 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, adjusted net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. was $10.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to $9.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates. Since we have a September 30 fiscal year end, our corporate income tax rates were phased in for our 2018 fiscal year, resulting in a federal statutory tax rate of approximately 24.5% for the fiscal year 2018. Beginning October 1, 2018, our federal statutory tax rate was reduced further to 21.0%.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA was $29.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 58.0%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $30.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 58.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2017.

As of December 31, 2018, The RMR Group Inc. had $284.2 million in cash and cash equivalents with no outstanding debt obligations. We received the $120.1 million of incentive business management fees earned for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018 in January 2019.

As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, The RMR Group Inc. had approximately $29.7 billion and $30.0 billion of total assets under management, respectively.

Reconciliations to GAAP:

Adjusted net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. determined in accordance with GAAP to adjusted net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., and of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as well as calculations of Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three months ended December 31, 2018 to the three months ended December 31, 2017 are presented later in this press release.

Total Assets Under Management:

The calculation of total assets under management primarily includes: (i) the gross book value of real estate and related assets, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, of the Managed Equity REITs and ABP Trust, plus (ii) the gross book value of real estate assets, property and equipment of the Managed Operators, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, plus (iii) the fair value of investments of Affiliates Insurance Company and the Open End Fund, the managed assets of RMR Real Estate Income Fund and the equity of TRMT. This calculation of total assets under management may include amounts in respect of the Managed Equity REITs that are higher than the calculations of assets under management used for purposes of calculating fees under the terms of the business management agreements, which are based, in part, upon the lesser of the historical cost of real estate assets or total market capitalization. For information on the calculation of assets under management of the Managed Equity REITs for purposes of the fee provisions of the business management agreements, see The RMR Group Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The RMR Group Inc.'s SEC filings are available at the SEC website: www.sec.gov.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures calculated as presented in the tables above. The RMR Group Inc. considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be appropriate supplemental measures of its operating performance, along with net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and operating income. The RMR Group Inc. believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain amounts, such as those outlined in the tables above, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with The RMR Group Inc.’s historical operating performance and with the performance of other asset management businesses. In addition, The RMR Group Inc. believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA Margin may help investors assess The RMR Group Inc.’s performance of its business by providing the margin that Adjusted EBITDA represents to its contractual management and advisory fees (excluding any incentive business management fees). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. or operating income as an indicator of The RMR Group Inc.’s financial performance or as a measure of The RMR Group Inc.’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and operating income as presented in The RMR Group Inc.'s condensed consolidated statements of income. Also, other asset management businesses may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than The RMR Group Inc. does.

(2)
These contractual management fees are the base business management fees, property management fees and advisory fees The RMR Group Inc. earns pursuant to its management and investment advisory agreements with its client companies. These amounts are calculated pursuant to the contractual formulas and do not deduct other asset amortization of $2,354 for each of the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, required to be recognized as a reduction to management services revenues in accordance with GAAP and do not include the incentive business management fees of $120,094 and $155,881 that The RMR Group Inc. recognized under GAAP during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were earned for the calendar years 2018 and 2017, respectively.
